Love these. So beautiful - I can almost smell the sweet smell of a newborn just by looking at your lovely kimono's/gown. thanks also for the knit link. I've been having trouble finding good knit fabric.
baby gowns
This weekend I did manage to spend a little time sewing for baby. On my agenda - baby gowns! I love love love to put my infants in long sack gowns. The only problem is that my babies are big, so they grow out of them quickly. I've always wanted to make some to fit larger sizes, but that ne...
what great colors you used in your quilt. I bet Ally Cat is wishing you would hurry up and back and tie your quilt so she has a new one to lay on.

Wow! A whole crew of pajama'ed cuties! Enjoy those special days.
Taking it easy
The last few months have been busy. T-ball, school stuff, Market, and about a thousand other things. Busy. This morning while I was laying in bed the weatherman said it was going to be 108 degrees today. Sounds like a perfect day to stay in, do projects with the kids, read books, listen to ...
Hard question, but I think right now it has to be the Prince Charming.

she is utterly gorgeous! My little Nutcracker dancer has long since grown up but this doll is so beautiful I'm tempted . . . .now only to find jammie sitting time.
Clara and the nutcracker
I finished them! I'm still in my pajamas and have barely moved off the couch all day but I finished them! These are a couple of very ambitious projects but I'm so happy with how they turned out. I'm going to start writing up how-to's for how to adapt the Elise/Elsa Elf pattern to make Clar...
Ooooh! I saw Parisville at Market and you are right -- it is gorgeous! I'll take any colorway at all! I'm anxious to see the rest of Tanya Whelan's line. I always like her stuff.
this is too good to wait until saturday! read this whole post if you love fabric. :)
Normally I like to reserve "shop notes" posts until Saturday, but this one is worth doing on a Tuesday. First up, Parisville by Tula Pink has arrived in full. "Wow" is all I can say about this line. Everything about it is gorgeous. Secondly, Delilah is trickling in too. This collection by ...
I love all your work and I bet this book is just as wonderful! This would be perfect for my preschool class. I've been looking for some good Thanksgiving stories.
Syko book tour starts today, and a gobble-good giveaway
Today marks the kick-off of Kajsa Wikman's (aka Syko) blog tour promoting her new book, Scandinavian Stitches! Fat Quarterly is the first stop, and after a few more stops along the way, I'll be riding in the caboose on November 26th! This is so exciting... I have loved Kajsa's work since I f...
What a generous gift. New fabrics always brighten my day!

Amazing photos to look at. I think the bees will be much happier living on the farm!
Bees? ...no thank you
few days ago, I happened to look up at one of our upstairs eaves and saw some bees flying around a tiny opening in the shingles. After a listen at the wall inside, it was clear we had a beehive in there! Totally creepy, especially because I am severely allergic to bee stings! We didn't wan...
Scrappy pinwheels - my favorite with those fabrics, which are so soft and pretty.
No design wall here either. A design-top-of-the-bed for me with the additional stand-on-a-chair for a full view attachment.
on the design floor
I wish I were one of those crafters with a design wall, but I am one of the nerdy ones with a design floor. Works just about the same, but the name really separates the cool kids from, well, me. With 400 little squares ready to be made into a quilt, I tossed it all down to figure out what d...
Please enter me. This looks like a great summer project for my girlfriend's daughter and me.
Klutz Glossy Bands :: book giveaway
A couple of weeks ago I (we) received a copy of the Klutz Glossy Bands book/kit to review. The timing was perfect with the end of school and a soon to be bored 9 yr old on my hands. As soon as it arrived, Lily was all over it. The recommended age for this is 8 and up, which I think is right o...
Certainly. I bet those deer are trembling in their hooves with that big bad rose protector on the job. Seamus is too cute!
they may have won some battles...
...but I am about to win the war. You may recall my ongoing battle with the deer in our neighborhood. Every time my roses are about to bloom they come around and pick the plants clean. Let me tell you, this makes me mad. MAD! Looking at my poor plants this weekend I realized that they ar...
He's adorable -- says she who has three dogs at her house -- good luck with the dog naming. Doug cracks me up as a puppy name. I love it!! Can't wait to see more photos of Mr. What's His Name.
meet mordecia, doug, desmond, simon or wilson
We can't agree on a name. For now I am calling him Mr. Super-Handsome. I can't believe that we have a puppy again, but the timing seemed right. The kids are ridiculously excited and willing to help (we are going to hold them to that) and he is a perfect fit. Great temperment, only a coupl...
We seem to make the same reading choices. Noah's Compass - read quickly and suddenly it seems it just ended. Very typical Ann Tyler characters who can always be so like us or someone we know. Fearful Symmetry - yep, just got too weird and I never finished it. Almost Moon - Story is hard to get through. I could not put myself in that character's shoes. Just started Secrets of Eden by Chris Bohjalian. I enjoy his novels.
on the nightstand
Admittedly, I don't have a ton of reading time, but I do manage to squeeze some in each night before bedtime. Next to fabric, books are my favorite addiction. If I could I would start a fabric/book shop with an ice cream counter, just for fun. I expect that a lot of you would frequent my stor...

They surely picked the right house for a holiday photo shot. Looks gorgeous. I'll certainly pick up this mag next year.
One last peek
The Christmas decorations are almost put away, but I promised I'd tell you all about the photo shoot last week, and so here are photos I took of some corners that weren't chosen for the shoot, like the white feather tree above, or the frothy yoyo tree that found a happy new spot in the den thi...
If the project's a go, count me in as a participant.
are you up for this???
I have a good friend who has a cousin living in Haiti as a missionary. They are located right at the earthquake's epicenter. My question is whether or not a "sewing seeds" skirt project might be in order for the little girls in this area. How many will be able to participate? If you are inter...

Can't wait! Thanks for the update.
shop notes: lots to look forward to!
So much to look forward to! In the next week I have two new lines coming in: Girly Girl from Art Gallery Fabrics and Plain Jane (3 colorways from that line) from Michael Miller. Not too long after that I will be getting Happy Campers and Rouenneries (beautiful wovens!) from Moda. Amy Butler ...
